My husband, John, suffered a traumatic head injury several years ago. Since then he has suffered adverse reactions to Rf radiation such as migraines, dizziness , the back of his head swelling from prolonged exposure and extreme fatigue/ body aches. Wisconsin Public Service would not allow us to opt out of a smart meter even after we submitted a notarized medical letter from my husband’s medical practitioner. We asked that they take the antenna out of the smart meter to accommodate my husband’s disability. However, they refused stating we had to be on remote shutoff.

WPS disconnected our electric 3 years ago. We have been disconnected since.
